POPE AIR FORCE BASE, N.C. --  Brittany Burgess
43rd Contracting Squadron

Job description: I am a Program Coordinator for the Government Purchase Card Program.

Date you entered the military: Both of my parents are retired from the Air Force, but I've been working as a civilian since August 2007.

Reason you entered the military: I wanted to provide support to our Airmen.

Who has been the most influential person in your career? My mother.

Short term goals: Continue to excel as program coordinator and start working towards a Master of Business Administration Degree.

Long term goals: I want to open a real estate office with my father.

What do you think is the best thing about Pope and why? The best thing about Pope is the camaraderie. Everyone makes you feel welcome.

If you could change one thing about Pope, what would it be, and why? I would build a middle and high school on base. I think it's unfair that the children who live on base should be bused off after elementary school.
